The Story of IFK Luleå
IFK Luleå first began in 1900. However, it stopped playing for some years. In 1920, a sports club called IK Gyltzau won a championship in bandy (a sport similar to ice hockey). After this win, IK Gyltzau changed its name to IFK Luleå. The club continued to play bandy for many years. They won the bandy championship again in 1932 and 1934.
Playing in Sweden's Top Football League
IFK Luleå played one season in the Allsvenskan in 1971. This is the highest football league in Sweden. They had a good start, but they were moved down to a lower league at the end of that season.
Years in Division 1 Norra
In the late 1980s and most of the 1990s, the club had a very successful time. They played in Division 1 Norra, which was the second-highest football league in Sweden back then.
Moving Through the Leagues
Over the last ten years, IFK Luleå has mostly played in Division 2 Norrland. This is now the fourth-highest league in the Swedish football league system. From 2006 to 2009, they finished in second place four times in a row. This meant they just missed out on moving up to a higher league.
In 2010, with a new coach named Fredrik Waara, they finally finished in first place. This win helped them move up to Division 1 Norra. They finished in tenth place in that league for the next two seasons. The club is connected to the Norrbottens Fotbollförbund, which is a local football association.
